^ nostalgic, yea. But it's still a Pontiac
Hope you don't get whiplash from that torquey 305.

yeah this thing would get smoked by my ford windstar.
but its not bad for picking parts
we fit the front subframe with brakes and suspention from a 2000 camaro in the trunk last night
found a extra big ass rad, and some new brakes(not brand new, but close enough)
While I love the patina on that bunny, FIX IT! It's not got much life left in it like that.
Sorry, but that's just a rusted shitbox with broken springs. My dad had one like that and the engine dropped out of it. Literally., in the driveway when they tried to tow it away.
That's a beauty Pontiac. Too bad it's last few days will be at the hands of atb

haha.. hows it any different from most other cars in this thread
my point exactly?!
^i believe the tread title effectively alludes to the general character of the contents within. feel free to start a differently themed thread of your liking elsewhere. here i will celebrate the raw awesomeness of the rusty shitbox. hail rust!
xy9nine, take a read of your first post please. was that rabbit artfully patinaed, or was is taken from the scrap yard?
Steven began with the front of the car. The inner metalwork was cut out to make room for the rather large 16" Porsche phone dials, as well as the new air suspension. The air struts themselves brought the car down, but not nearly enough; after shortening the struts further, the real work began. After very careful and extensive measuring, each suspension pickup point on the car was cut out off the car and moved upwards just over two inches. This allowed Steven's MK1 to retain the correct geometry for driving, while simultaneously allowing it to sit two inches lower than it had before. The remaining pieces of the car that sat lower than the engine were modified, removed, or simply cut away, all in the name of pushing the car as close to the asphalt as possible. A new steel subframe was built to keep everything in order.
The tail end of the MK1 received a very similar treatment. The wheel wells were cut away to allow the car to sit lower, and the gas tank of the car was removed, and an aftermarket one relocated, to allow for the rear beam to travel without interference. The brake lines and fuel lines were all reconfigured, and then the air suspension was installed. The end result is a car that has the suspension geometry, and clearance, to drive just fractions of an inch off the ground.
OK, I can admit when I'm wrong. sounds like a lot of work went into it.
